Berlin (VNA) - "Vietnam is part of my heart," stated President of the Germany-Vietnam Friendship Association Rolf Schulze, who served as German Ambassador to Vietnam during 2007-2011, while attending an event to introduce traditional costumes and musical instruments of Vietnam.

He said the event reminds him of sweet memories during his time in Vietnam.
